Chapter 59: Mysterious Mountain Arena Tournament (5)
Li Ranno's face was filled with shock as he slightly shook his head, turned around and took two steps back to the spot where the iron bars were buried. He lightly stomped on the ground, and suddenly, two iron bars jumped out from the stone platform, one on the left and one on the right, falling into Li Ranno's palms.
At this moment, Wang Wanxuan suddenly exclaimed from under the stage: "Be careful behind you."
Tie Qiu saw Li Ruo Dao being so careless with his back to him, gritted his teeth, and quickly pulled out a dagger from the corner of his pants. Like a fierce tiger, he pounced towards Li Ruo Dao's back and stabbed at his heart.
A flash of light, cold and piercing.
Li Ran's knife hummed softly in the dark, his body suddenly turned halfway around, letting the dagger pass by, one foot kicked back, and with a loud crash, he kicked Tie Qiang's chest, sending him flying into the air, spinning and falling to the ground on the other side of the arena, unable to get up for half a day.
The audience below was in an uproar, Shan Lang was being supported by others, staring blankly at the scene, panting heavily. He knew that Li Ran's knife didn't look impressive, but his skills were ruthless and had unexpected abilities, yet he also didn't think that Li Ran's knife would be this fierce.
Three moves and two styles, clean and efficient, knocked down an opponent with incredible strength, these moves are too beautiful, the timing is precise and ruthless, once launched it's a fatal blow.
Li Ranno's knife was for Wang Wuxuan to vent, for himself to vent, the mountain wolf's chest was greatly relieved, and the people around him had already jumped up excitedly cheering.
Li Ran stood on the stage with a pair of iron bars in his hands, listening to the cheers and shouts from below, but he slightly shook his head in his heart.
That iron-backed man, no matter how powerful he is, can only exert the power of fourfold refined spiritual energy. Li Ran's knife is now at sixfold and has reached the top. Breaking through one step will enter the realm of sevenfold refined spiritual energy. Adding the high-level experience and vision from his previous life, fighting that person would not bring any sense of accomplishment.
But Li Ranno didn't mind giving him a lesson, and at the same time, he took it as a demonstration of his own competitive spirit on the road ahead.
As stipulated, this arena match is to last for seven days. However, not all arenas have non-stop battles. At least Qin Fengchuan and Gu Lieyang are now very idle. People have already determined that they must be the champions and will surely succeed in entering Xuanyuan Mountain. Who would dare provoke them?
As long as strength is recognized by everyone, no one will go up to challenge it.
Li Ruo's knife was already standing on the stage, he didn't prepare to go down, looking down and shouting loudly: "Who's next?"
Suddenly, three figures in green robes forced their way through the crowd and walked towards the stage, then simultaneously jumped up and landed on the stage in a triangular formation.
The crowd below was in an uproar, with many people involuntarily shouting: "Only one person is allowed to go up and fight, what's the point of three people going up together? Is this a case of using numbers to gain victory?"
"How shameless! Do you think three can gang up on one? The rules of Xuán Jī Mountain don't allow this, hey, is no one going to intervene?"
The mountain wolf and Wang Wenyuan were also stunned, looking at the stage in surprise. Li Ran's knife was slightly stagnant, looking at the three people opposite him, only to see the middle person with a lazy and arrogant expression, his mouth slightly raised, without putting others in his eyes.
Gently unbutton the long shirt, revealing the tight-fitting clothes underneath. The person on the left carefully walks up and takes over the long shirt, while the person on the right bends down to respectfully hand a bamboo stick to this person.
He waved his hand lightly: "You can go down now."
"Yes, young master!"
Two men stepped back two steps, then turned around and jumped down to the stage, the crowd below was shocked at the same time, only then did they realize that this young master had brought two attendants with him when he came on stage to fight, this move was quite unexpected.
Li Ran couldn't tell from his appearance how strong he was, and just slightly nodded at him.
That person slanted his eyes and glanced at Li Ruo's knife, nodding slowly: "I am Qin Duanmu, the young master of the Qin family in Langya. I just watched your battle and felt an itch in my heart, so I came up to give you some advice."
"Langya Qin's family?"
Li Ran's heart skipped a beat, in the Misty Valley, he had killed many people from the Qin family, but that was when he had changed his appearance. Now, however, he was appearing in public with his true identity, and defeating this young man might offend that powerful clan.
After all, the person in front of him is not an ordinary person, but the young master of the Qin family.
Thinking of this, Li Ranno shook his head secretly, in order to attract the attention of those Dan Sheng Xian, Li Ranno was destined to go all out with his strong momentum today, no other choice.
The people below had already erupted into a big commotion again, and Wang Heji, who had come with a young man, couldn't help but laugh loudly and shout: "That Qin family kid, this is Xuán Jī Mountain, not your family's territory! You want to point fingers at others? What makes you qualified to point fingers at others? Bring out some real skills!"
Li Ran's knife raised his iron rod slightly and smiled: "Want to point at me? I don't have eyes on my iron rod, you are such a noble young master, if I accidentally scratch you, don't blame me."
In his past life, Li Ruo's strength wasn't high either, only at the Divine Movement stage, but at least those cultivation experiences and insights were not comparable to these young whippersnappers. As for Qin family's young master, Li Ruo didn't put him in his eyes at all.
Qin Duanmu suddenly smiled proudly and nodded slightly, saying: "You look quite confident. I wonder if your confidence comes from your Horizontal Swing Skill?"
"Huh?"
Li Ran Dao was shocked upon hearing this and his eyes narrowed involuntarily as he sized up Qin Duanmu across from him.
In his previous life, Li Ruo had accidentally obtained a secret technique, which was a kind of force transmission method, precisely the horizontal swing force.
Actually, many people know that the application of strength also has its skills. If used well, it will produce an incredible effect. Li Ranno just swung his hand and borrowed power to throw Tie's iron rod out of his hand, which is the skill of horizontal swing force. This exquisite method of applying force, after learning, Li Ranno felt that its wonders are endless, and every use is invincible.
But the young master in front of him had just opened his mouth and revealed his true nature, Li Ran only then knew that this kind of noble family's young master was not just a pretty face, he actually had real talent and learning.
Li Ran Dao slightly nodded and asked: "Have you heard of these wonderful methods?"
Qin Duanmu sneered with a smile: "Sitting in a well and watching the sky, is that also considered a clever move? Come on, let's compare notes, I'll give you some pointers."
Qin Duanmu took two steps forward, his bamboo stick swiftly extending from his hand. A sharp breaking wind sound was heard as the bamboo stick rapidly pointed at Li Ran's knife.
Li Ruo stretched out his iron rod, preparing to rely on its weight to force the bamboo rod open and rush straight into the middle of the stage. Just as he did so, Li Ruo suddenly felt a strong adhesive force holding onto the iron rod, as if it had been stuck by the bamboo rod's tip. The bamboo rod swung outward, and Li Ruo felt an enormous force surging through his palm, causing him to lose his grip on the iron rod, which flew out of his hand and stabbed into the stage until only its handle was visible.
The crowd below let out a collective "oh" as no one had expected that Li Ran's knife would be countered with the same technique, sending the iron rod flying. Looking at the young master's carefree and elegant demeanor, it was clear that he was the true heir of the family.
"That young master slightly raised an eyebrow and smiled faintly, saying: 'See? This is the sticky character decision and the throwing character decision. This is the real horizontal throwing power. Did you feel it?'"
Qin Duanmu shouted and rushed up again, with his bamboo stick swinging through the air.
Li Ruo Dao hastily transferred the iron rod from his left hand to his right, raising it to meet Qin Duanmu's bamboo rod. As the two rods intersected in mid-air, Li Ruo Dao saw Qin Duanmu's hand holding the rod tremble slightly, and suddenly a shocking force was transmitted to him, sending him flying out with a somersault, landing on the edge of the arena. Li Ruo Dao took a deep breath, looking at Qin Duanmu across from him and asked:
"This is Douzi jue?"
Qin Duanmu smiled: "Not bad, quite perceptive, just like a decisive move in Go."
Li Ranno's heart suddenly burst with joy, the powerful technique was extremely profound, and in his previous life, he had been thrilled to obtain the Horizontal Swing Force. Now, Qin Duanmu stood before him like a gigantic treasure trove, and Li Ranno couldn't let it go.
Intentionally letting Qin Duomu show off all his skills, Li Ruo Lang loudly shouted:
"Just these tricks are not enough to instruct me, I want to see what other skills you have."
He stepped forward lightly, and in one step, he crossed several feet directly to appear in front of Qin Duanmu. This speed also moved Qin Duanmu, the bamboo stick swung into a green shadow, and Li Ran's knife fought together.
Li Ran's knife and stick shadow were exquisite, with horizontal and diagonal strokes that seemed to conjure up ghosts. Like a giant python writhing and twisting, one move would reveal the empty door of Qin Duanmu's self-saving stick technique. Adding to this was the sound of fierce winds howling, truly displaying divine might.
The iron club under the stage saw that Li Fung's mouth was wide open, and he was deeply shocked in his heart. He only knew that he had lost unfairly, but as for the stick method, Li Fung's knife was much stronger than him. The heavy iron rod in Li Fung's hand was light as if it had no weight, and that power also made the iron club horrified.
Tie Qiang wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, a bitter smile in his heart. Only now did he realize that among these people who came to Xuanyuan Mountain to compete for the championship, which one was easy to get along with? He had thought that relying solely on his innate divine power would be enough to secure a place, but it seemed like a fool's dream.
